Submission Statement: Adoptions haven’t kept pace with the influx of pets — especially larger dogs creating a snowballing population problem for many shelters.

Shelter Animals Count, a national database of shelter statistics, estimates that the U.S. shelter population grew by nearly a quarter-million animals in 2023.

Shelter operators say they’re in crisis mode as they try to reduce the kennel crush.

This is related to collapse as the current economic down turn has made it impossible for many to care for their pets, and as usual, other species take the brunt foe humanity's endless folly.

Happy holidays!(No, seriously, much love to all of you, and your loved animal friends and family members too.)
